NOTES:

Cornell University's School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) seeks to fill up to two tenured/tenure-track faculty positions for its Ithaca campus. Applicants with research interests in all areas of operations research and information engineering will be considered, but applicants in areas aligned with the School’s current strategic plan will receive primary consideration: the plan seeks to strengthen the School’s leading role in advancing the analytical, methodological, and modeling tools of operations research together with the potential of “Big Data” and the information revolution.

Requisite is a strong interest in the broad mission of the School, exceptional potential for leadership in research and education, an ability and willingness to teach at all levels of the program, and a PhD in operations research, mathematics, statistics, or a related field by the start of the appointment. Salary will be appropriate to qualifications and engineering school norms.

Cornell ORIE is a diverse group of high-quality researchers and educators interested in probability, optimization, statistics, simulation, and a wide array of applications such as manufacturing, e-commerce, supply chains, scheduling, transportation systems, health care, financial engineering, service systems and network science. We value mathematical and technical depth and innovation, and experience with applications and practice. Ideal candidates will have correspondingly broad training and interests.

Please apply online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/3039 with a cover letter, CV, statements of teaching and research interests, sample publications, list of reference letter writers and, for junior applicants, a doctoral transcript. Applications will be reviewed starting on October 1, 2013 (prior to the annual INFORMS conference); although all applications completed by November 15, 2013, will receive full consideration, candidates are urged to submit all required material as soon as possible. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
